The Washington Post reports that President Donald Trump personally asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to help resolve the case of three UCLA men’s basketball players who were arrested for shoplifting in high-end stores while in China last week, and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed the conversation.

Trump arrived a day after the three players—guard LiAngelo Ball, brother of Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Lonzo Ball, and forwards Cody Riley and Jalen Hill—were accused of stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store next to the team’s hotel.

As reported earlier by The Root, the players did not play in the game they came to China for against Georgia Tech in Shanghai; nor did they fly home with the team.
